Super Nintendos are not so old. I have an original Ninetendo in it's box with the original controllers, which kinda fail at times. But Super Nintendo controllers have a much different feel and it effects you ability to control and win the games.

My old hand mixer is a GE from the 70s. You have to be careful where the wire goes into the unit so that it's not pulled on or bent too much. I suppose you could take it apart and fix the wire if it breaks, but I haven't had to do that yet.

Telefunken tube radio from the 50s. Worked the last time I tried. Oldest electronic that I still use every day, a Osterizer blender that I bought back in 1975.

Re: What's the oldest electronic device you have that you still use regularly?
Have a number of kitchen appliances that I got new back in 1973 that are still going strong.

Electronics the one I still use regularly is a mid 80's Sony portable SW/AM/FM receiver. Great design.

Oldest electronics that have that sill work and I use on occasion are a
1) Stewart tabletop SW/AM/FM radio from probably late 1960's and
2) Tabletop SW/AM Automate Direction Finder tube radio from the early 1960's (before the days of even Loran for recreational boats when going out on the open ocean) that came with my first Open Ocean transiting sailboat.

Even after many years of being around salt water that part mechanical, but automatic, ADF still works like a champ ... unbelievable!! (the antenna system on the top physically rotates via a motor to plot the direction to the transmitting station - which on the ocean can be several hundred miles away). A Rube Goldberg device if there ever was one with the marriage of mechanical motors with electronic (tube) circuitry ... but what a device for it's day for navigating on the oceans (before consumer grade Loran receivers and decades before GPSs)!!

a Walkman I got in 1985 to listen to cassettes, my electronic drumkit is from 2004 and the pc i use to play along with mp3s I built in 2001, my bathroom radio is from 1997, and i still play Mario Kart 64 with my kids on a Nintendo 64 that i got in 1998.

i also have a Boston manual pencil sharpener (the kind you'd use in school that was mounted to a wall) that my dad had in the 1950s (1956-7 thereabouts) when he was a kid, but that's not electronic so....
